Jack,

It is indeed possible to have the C-Series Widescreen MFDs support sharing of radar and Sirius Satellite Weather data. Each C-Series Widescreen MFD features two Ethernet (SeaTalkhs) communications sockets, permitting a pair of C-Series Widescreen MFDs to be interfaced to up to two additional compatible devices which are also designed to communicate via Ethernet (SeaTalkhs) communications. Should more than two compatible devices which are also designed to communicate via Ethernet (SeaTalkhs) communications need to be interfaced, then a HS5 RayNet Network Switch would be required. An appropriate length SeaTalkhs (M) to SeaTalkhs (M) Cable will be used to interface the MFDs to one another. Similarly, an appropriate length of SeaTalkhs (M) to SeaTalkhs (M) Cable will be used to interface the Ethernet socket of either MFD to the SR100. Finally, the Digital or HD Digital Radome will be interfaced to the Ethernet socket of the remaining MFD via an assembly constructed from a Digital Radar Cable (run from radome to the base of the mast) an appropriate length of Digital Radar Cable, and an A80272 RayNet (M) Pins to SThs (M) Socket Adaptor Cable.

The SH GX2100 would be interfaced to one of the NMEA 0183 I/O ports of either MFD. The NMEA 0183 Port Setting of the MFD port which will be receiving AIS data must be configured to "AIS 38400".
